What a difference from 2 yrs ago??? Two years ago, under the plp, IB companies were leaving BDA so fast, the airlines had trouble accommodating their departures, and let’s not forget the moving companies, they were extremely busy as well moving their belongings!!! Now under a sensible and welcoming OBA Government, they are returning and expanding!!! The future sure looks a lot brighter under the OBA!!!

Those thousands of jobs went under the PLP – cos they didn’t have a clue. They’re kinda quiet now – ain’t got nuthin to say.

Seems like you are confused as the jobs went out under the previous Government as well as hundreds of Bermudians who left in an effort to survive…the PLP drove them all out… No reasonable person would deny the OBA has Bermuda back on the right path and I realize that is tough for some to accept …

Can you please provide details on the thousands of jobs lost in the last 2 years. Perhaps some hang-over from the previous government’s attitude toward those who “don’t look like them”?

Where are your sources regarding the thousands of jobs lost in the last 2 years?

According to the most recent labour survey, completed in the first 9 months of the OBA’s term, it indicates that the labor force fell by 621 jobs. And let me remind you that this was in September 2013 before any of their policies have taken hold. Just wait till the numerous large construction projects gets underway as well as teh implementation of the new work permit policies.

When you get a chance can you please provide the source you used to state that thousands of jobs have been lost in the last 2 years?

Thanks

You are kidding right. The thousands of jobs were lost by the PLP and the OBA are trying to get them back.

Do you think that putting a few hampers in front of a Church for collecting food is worthy of a press conference? Your buddies do….anything for politics.

More bad news from the OBA – there must be a catch.

I know our rents go up from the increase in demand! We need the PLP back in power as soon as possible.
